DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Dale Earnhardt Jr. doesn't do Twitter, but Earnhardt's fans soon will be able to gain more access to their favorite driver through a radio-style podcast.

Beginning Feb. 18, Dirty Mo Radio will launch at DaleJr.com and also be available at other podcast outlets such as iTunes.

The weekly show will be similar to the JRM360 videos at JRMotorsports.com, the website for Earnhardt's Nationwide Series team. The brainchild of Mike Davis, director of communications at JRM, it will feature race recaps as well as behind-the-scenes insight from Earnhardt, team members, family members and others. Charlotte, N.C., radio personality Taylor Zarzour will be the host.

"Racing is the biggest part of Dale's life, but it's not the only part," said Kelley Earnhardt-Miller, Earnhardt sister and the general manager of JR Motorsports. "We hope to create programming not just about Dale but about his interests, such as music, sports, and NASCAR history."

The show is named after Earnhardt's "Dirty Mo" brand, the name of the gang of friends he used to hang out with while growing up around Mooresville, N.C.

"I'm excited about it," Earnhardt said at NASCAR Media Day Thursday. "I think there is good potential there to do some pretty fun stuff and try to give our fans some information and substance and just something new.

"They are always striving for information and wanting to learn something new and understand what is going on. This gives us the opportunity to give them that feedback and tell 'em what is going on around the company and exactly what we're working on."

Earnhardt will be featured in many of the podcasts, but other shows will feature teammates and friends from Earnhardt's life and will focus on events and developments on and off the track.

"I'll be in and out of the broadcast but for the most part it's gong to be not just about me, per see, but about what we are doing with our company, what JR Motorsports is working on, what our goals are, what are plans," Earnhardt said.

"We'll talk about races and how we ran and what happened at the races — my races, the Nationwide races. We'll talk about what we are doing out on the property, anything fun that might be popping up or we might want to share with our fans, or anything we might be doing downtown at Whisky River. Who knows? We could talk about literally anything."

Earnhardt said the show would be similar to the XM Satellite Radio show — Dale Jr. Unrestricted — for which he was once host.

"But a little more professional than that," he said. "We were pretty ragtag back then. We didn't know what the hell we were doing. It was fun, but we didn't work hard enough to be relevant and try to stick around.

"This will be a great place for us to provide content for our fans and our partners more bang for their buck."
